About our asbestos survey in Old Windsor
Our surveys in Old Windsor cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. Typical jobs include shops, offices and industrial units and common parts of flats and HMOs, involving floor tiles, pipe lagging and garage roofs.
In a smaller place like Old Windsor, surveys are often for family homes before renovation, with garages and outbuildings included, since older garages often have cement roofs. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

What we deal with in Old Windsor
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building, which is why surveys are systematic.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Community buildings and halls
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises

Before booking anyone
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Which areas and materials are covered
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Questions from Old Windsor
Do you work near Sunnymeads station?
Yes, we cover Old Windsor and the area towards Sunnymeads station, about 1.3 miles north-east.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Old Windsor?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s generally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
The scope of an asbestos survey
So you know what to expect:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding

Which option is right?
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is typically cheaper in the end. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Recommendations in plain English
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
Take a look at how we quote or the cost guide.
After the job
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Keeping things safe:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
